WASHINGTON: Brad Mihlfried’s employer, Butler County-based Xper Inc, has long supplied the US military and its prime contractors with transparent armour for tactical vehicles. “Some people call it bulletproof glass,” he said, but “we always say that nothing’s bulletproof”.
Mihlfried, the company’s director of information technology, has been racing to cultivate a different kind of armour amid a wave of cyberattacks that have stolen customer data, compromised government systems and disrupted gasoline supplies and grocery store meat aisles.
